In present days, continuous effort is being made in bringing down the line losses of the electrical distribution networks. Therefore proper allocation of capacitors is of utmost importance because, it will help in reducing the line losses and maintaining the bus voltage. This in turn results in improving the stability and reliability of the system.
Optimal placement and optimal sizing of Distributed Generation (DG) for the sake of reduction in power loss and improvement of voltage profile in distribution networks are investigated in this paper. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to find out the best location and optimal size of DG.
This study proposes a new application of Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) with an aim of finding optimal placement and size of Distributed Generation (DGs) for multi-objectives. Multi-objectives include power loss minimization, voltage profile improvement and operating cost minimization subjected to equality and inequality constraints.
